Three Hundred and Nineteenth Chapter Formation Breakthrough

"This thing should have some origins, but it's a pity that it's broken. Let's talk about it later." Shi Mu muttered to himself with some regret, carefully folded the green cloak and put it in the ring of dust, and looked at the corpse again. .

This time, his face changed slightly.

There was a cloak blocking it just now, so he didn't pay attention, but now he took a closer look, and saw that the corpse was holding a baby's fist-sized, dark red transparent spar all over.

Shi Mu made a move with one hand, and the spar flew into his hand.

The spar is in the shape of a cone, with some weird patterns engraved on it. In the center of the spar, several trembling red lines can be seen running up and down, like a few red lightning bolts, which looks extraordinary.

However, this spar didn't exude any spiritual energy or mana fluctuations, just like an ordinary red crystal.

Shi Mu turned the spar over and looked at it carefully for a while, then his eyes narrowed slightly.

On the straight top of the cone, an ancient Chinese character "three" is inscribed, like a serial number.

He frowned slightly, checked it several times, and tried to inject mana and true energy, but he didn't find anything special about the conical crystal.

But looking at this corpse, he will hold this object tightly in his hand until he dies, so it should be an important thing.

Shi Mu shook his head, didn't think much about it, and simply put away the conical crystals, planning to figure it out when he had time.

Apart from the cloak and the crystal, there was nothing else worth noting on the corpse.

Looking at the corpse, he sighed softly, intending to bury it in the ground on the spot, as compensation for taking two things from his body.

With a wave of Shi Mu's sleeve, a red light flew out, wrapped around the corpse, and wanted to lift it up.

However, the corpse only shook slightly, but it was not lifted up.

There was a trace of surprise on Shi Mu's face. The appearance of this corpse looks nothing special, but now it looks like it weighs about four to five hundred catties.

He added some strength, and then he lifted the corpse up again.

Shi Mu frowned, and re-examined the corpse again, and after a while, his face became serious.

His attention was attracted by the green cloak and the dark red spar before, but he didn't notice anything unusual about this corpse!

In this corpse, each bone seemed to be bone white, but upon closer inspection, the bones were very delicate, with a faint metallic luster.

He tapped lightly on the bones with his fingers, making a "dong dong" sound, as if he was hitting a steel plate.

Shi Mu's eyes flickered for a moment, and with a flick of his finger, a red light shot out from between his fingers, turning into a light blade and hitting a thigh bone.

With a muffled "Keng", the red light blade shattered, but the surface of the thighbone was not damaged at all, not even a mark was left.

Shi Mu's face changed slightly. Although it was just a casual blow, an ordinary iron rod could cut through it, but it couldn't leave a mark on the skeleton.

He pondered for a while, and immediately put the whole skeleton into the storage ring.

This corpse is so strange, maybe something can be found from it.

In the following time, Shi Mu walked around the underground cave, and his eyes gradually lit up.

It was deep underground, and the size of the space was moderate, making it a suitable place to build a fire room.

In the following time, he cleaned up the vine demon corpses in the underground cave a little bit, and then returned to the ground.

"Shitou, why did it take you so long to come up, I thought something happened to you down there, I almost went down to look for you!" As soon as he left the room, Cai'er immediately flew over with wings.

"Oh, aren't you afraid that there are ghosts down there?" Shi Mu said with his mouth slightly raised.

"Well... I thought about it, no matter how powerful this ghost is, I can't beat it, can't I run away... After all, I have wings and can fly. By the way, can ghosts fly?" Slightly flustered, somewhat incoherent.

Shi Mu smiled, and immediately stopped teasing the parrot, and briefly talked about what happened next.

"It turns out that there is a flower demon hiding below, I thought there was a ghost, it really scared me to death." Cai'er breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her chest with one wing.

"This place is remote, and generally people with some strengths and identities would not come here, but this flower demon has harmed many people, and its strength has improved quite quickly. If no one cares about it, it is estimated that in another thirty or fifty years, this beast may They can all advance to the earth-level level." Shi Mu said.

"Quack, it's not good for anyone to let it offend. It's off to Shitou, now it's over!" Cai'er said.

"The environment here is acceptable, and there are underground caves as fire chambers, so there is no need to worry about being noticed." Shi Mu said.

Cai'er nodded repeatedly.

"Now that the place has been selected, then we will go to purchase the Huo Gang Stone and exchange for the Huo Ling Stone." Shi Mu said, his eyes crossed the courtyard and looked into the distance.

...

In the next half a month, Shi Mu ran around in Rikang City, buying fire stones everywhere, and exchanging other attribute spirit stones on his body for fire attribute spirit stones.

Fire attribute spirit stones are okay, after all, they belong to one of the five elements spirit stones, and they cost a little handling fee, but they can be exchanged for a lot. Fire stones are not particularly rare, but after all, the amount required is not small, plus Now that the city is relatively closed, it took a lot of effort to acquire it.

In the end, after dealing with Tianwu Baoxuan and spending 30% more spirit stones than the market price, he managed to gather the required number of Huogang stones.

As a result, the tens of thousands of spirit stones that he had originally accumulated on his body were depleted.

...

Outside the city, under Ao Kui's instructions, some monsters are still wandering around, causing panic in Rikang City all day long.

Naturally, Shi Mu didn't bother to pay attention to these things, he was stepping up to arrange the fire formation.

In the deepest cave of the underground cave, many dark red stones are densely embedded on the ground and walls. These are Huogang stones.

These Huogang stones decorated the entire cave bright red, vaguely forming a huge cage, covering the world in the cave.

On the surface of these Huogang stones, circles of red patterns are painted and engraved, forming mysterious patterns one by one.

In the center of the cave is a circular magic circle. In every corner of the magic circle, there are hundreds of pieces of fire-attribute spirit stones.

Shi Mu sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, and placed a middle-grade fire-attribute spirit stone on the ground.

hum...

A dazzling red light emerged from the magic circle on the ground from the inside to the outside, and it swam around all the lines in the cave extremely quickly, and then dissipated.

There was a hint of joy on Shi Mu's face, and the fire formation was finally successfully arranged.

"This magic formation is not difficult. Even a low-level formation mage like you can complete it by yourself. It's just that the design of this formation is a bit rough, and it costs so many spirit stones. These spirit stones are enough for me. It's been a long time." Cai'er stood on a big rock beside her and said.

"Cai'er, how about you design a magic circle that saves spirit stones, and the saved spirit stones belong to you?" Shi Mu said.

"Haha, I'm just talking, Shitou, don't take it seriously!" Cai'er said resentfully.

Shi Mu glared at Cai'er angrily, took a deep breath, waved out a formula, and landed on the ground.

"Buzzing" there was a tremor, and the fire-filled magic circle immediately started to operate.

The fire-attribute spirit stones on the ground burst into red light, making the entire underground space shrouded in a layer of red light.

The underground space seemed to be transferred to a scorching volcano in an instant, and the air was filled with rich fire-attribute aura.

Compared with the previous natural Huoling Mountains, there are still some differences, but not too big.

However, the aura in the fire-attribute spirit stones on the ground is also slowly weakening. According to this trend, these spirit stones in the magic circle can only last for four or five days.

Shi Mu smiled wryly, and glanced at the ring in his hand. Judging from this speed, the fire-attribute spirit stones he had prepared were only enough to replace them four or five times. Next, he needed to find a way to earn some spirit stones. Stone will do.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and began to run the Red Ape Fire Sutra.

Bathed in the rich fire-attribute vitality, wisps of scorching air continuously flowed into his body and penetrated into his meridians.

Shi Mu took out an ordinary Huoyuan peach fruit and swallowed it, the surrounding red light gathered, and a layer of red cloud gradually covered his body.

Time passed little by little, after more than ten days passed like this.

In the center of the cave circle, Shi Mu suddenly opened his eyes, and at this moment, the true energy in his body had reached its peak.

He turned his hand and took out the Huoyuan Peach King, thought for a moment, and swallowed it into his stomach.

After Tao Wang ate his stomach, Shi Mu suddenly felt the heat wave in his dantian, and his whole body was quickly covered with a layer of red and purple light.

Strains of true energy began to surge in the meridians extremely quickly, and became more and more violent, surging in waves like raging waves.

He felt that the meridians in his body were in severe pain as if they were being cut by a knife.

Shi Mu took a deep breath, barely calming the blood in his body, and activated the Qi in his body according to the ninth level of the Red Ape Fire Sutra.

It didn't take a moment for Shi Mu to feel the zhenqi in the dantian grow rapidly, and the plentiful zhenqi gushed out of the dantian like a torrent, rushing into the limbs and bones.

As time went by, the red light in the fire formation flickered on and off.

Shi Mu was sweating like rain, his skin turned reddish purple, and the dantian of the meridians all over his body was filled with incomparably rich true energy, which had almost reached a zero boundary, as if it would burst open at any time.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the red-purple light on his body flourished, enveloping his whole body.

After a long while, Shi Mu let out a long and hearty howl, which echoed deep in the ground.

The surrounding magic circle seemed to be affected, and the light shone brightly.

Countless red rays of light poured into Shi Mu's body like Baichuan Nahai, and the coercion emanating from Shi Mu's body continued to increase.

Cai'er stood nearby, and a powerful coercion roared towards it, knocking it into the air, and let out a strange cry.

A layer of black light emerged from the top of the underground cave, blocking the spiritual power fluctuations emitted by Shi Mu.

...

This process lasted for three full days and three nights, and the red light in the magic circle slowly dimmed, revealing the figure of Shi Mu inside.

At this moment, Shi Mu was drenched as if he had just been picked up from the water, but his face was full of excitement.

The Red Ape Fire Sutra has finally broken through the eighth level and entered the ninth level.

At this moment, Shi Mu's Qi Palace in his body is full of true Qi, which is almost condensed into a liquid. Compared with before, it is almost twice as strong.

This means that he has officially entered the innate late stage. (To be continued.)
